Instant Pot Pork Carnitas (or Beef!)

• 4-6 pounds of cubed pork butt roast (or cubed beef roast)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons salt
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (or more for additional spice)
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, coarsely chopped
• 6 garlic cloves, diced
• 1 cup orange juice
• 2 cups chicken broth
• Taco fixings

Directions

1. Combine all spices in bowl and rub into the cubed meat.
2. Turn on sauté mode, add oil to instant pot and brown the meat. Turn off sauté mode once browned.
3. Add onions, garlic, orange juice and chicken broth to cover the meat.
4. Place lid on the pressure cooker and seal the vent. Turn on high pressure cooling for 60 minutes. Let pressure release naturally, about 15 minutes.
5. Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray with oil and spread the meat evenly on the pan.
6. Broil for 5 minutes.
7. Serve as tacos or over rice or both!

• If serving with rice- I reserved half of this juice from the cooked meat using 1:1 ratio to make the rice in the instant pot immediately following the carnitas.

• I always double the spice recipe so I can save the spice mix for next time. That’s the most tedious part for me.
